Parents need to know that the main character, Murphy, while a positive role model for women in the workplace, is incredibly sarcastic, and her wry one-liners might fly over the head of younger viewers. The show makes frequent references to politicians and other newsmakers of the late '80s and early '90s; that, plus the already-dated fashions and hairstyles, may make the series seem irrelevant to today's kids.
